The Department of Interior Architecture (IARC) is a community of scholars active in design theory and practice, we transcend the accepted definitions of interior spaces, their appearances, their functions, human interactions within and outside them, and their impact on the world. Within the IARC Department, students and faculty engage in regional, national, and international design discourses, practices, and processes to unite interior spaces with enclosing architecture and the objects contained within them. You can read more about the IARC Department, our Vision and Core Values here.

The IARC Department directs award-winning visual communication, product design and prototyping and digital design studios.

IARC Students maintain a student e-journal documenting the studio experience. Please visit to get a glimpse of life close to the front.
